Have a chance to pick up a barely used Glock 48 for what I think is a good price. Seller said he put 2 magazines through it and does not like it. I am intrigued by the pistol and it's larger than my Kahr K9 but it might be a good Summer carry weapon. Carrying the G19X now so it would be similar. Who has one? Thoughts? Stick with the Kahr?This message has been edited. Last edited by: joatmonv,

I’m very fond of my G48. I’d grab it.

I am also very fond of my 48
Especially now that I got spare mags for it

I prefer the P225 but the new Glock 48 is almost half the price.

Meeting him in a few hours to buy it. Luckily, I have a friend who's an FFL because private sales have to be transferred now in Ohio. Not a bad day and I may make it out to the back acreage to try it out. Thanks all.

I was one to pine for a single stack 19. I did buy a kahr P9 which was close. 4 inch barrel and 8rds. But it never was reliable for me. Broke it in with 3-4 hundred rounds, but it would always have an issue. For me the 48 is perfect. Getting used to the slide color and magazines are on the horizon.

Just last week I picked up a G48. Haven't shot it yet but it seems to fit pretty well and dry firing indicates a decent trigger. Sounds like a good deal.

I really like my G48. Worth checking out imo if you already like Glocks.
As an aside, I completely missed that private sales must go through an FFL in Ohio. I’m embarrassed I missed that, I try to follow legal updates but was obviously asleep asleep at the switch on that. When did it happen?

Well, crap. Looks like I have a 48 on the way for a project...

I do believe it was 2018 the law changed. I still know a few people that won't do this when they sell a pistol. Not that big of a deal to me and I have to do it when I buy new.

Are we sure that Ohio law has been changed? I never heard anything about it and a quick check didn’t corroborate the above post. I’m hoping it didn’t, just for the PIA factor.

There is no NICS required for private sales in ohio.

Sigfest and Daddy are correct, I'm wrong and I guess I shouldn't have taken my friend's, who is the FFL, word on it.

Your friend just wants a transfer fee
They didn’t have any 48s in stock last time I went. I held the 43X and liked it but they only had one open for sale and it matched the badge number of my coworker so he bought it.
I will probably grab a 48 and 43X the next time I stop in.
Not minority enough!

My G48 came in a couple days ago. I haven't gotten to shoot it yet but it feels great in hand and seems to have a good trigger.

I also recently purchased the new G48 and I absolutely love it! I appreciate the full hand purchase and the 4"+ barrel for full ballistic performance. The thinness of the grip feels great in the hand, and after 700 rounds, it has been completely reliable, accurate and well balanced. Once I find a holster to my liking, it will become my EDC/CCW. Although this is a Glock, it doesn't feel like a blocky Glock, but an ergo friendly pistol. IMHO: this is the best single stack offering since the S&W 39-2....and the 3913's series.
